PDF-On Derivative Estimation of the Mean Time to Failure in Simulations of Highly Reliable

Nakayama Department of Computer and Information Science New Jersey Institute of Technology Newark NJ 07102 Abstract The mean time to failure MTTF of a Markovian system can be expressed as a ratio of two expectations For highly reliable Markovian sys. We have that AA 1 that is that the product of AA is the sum of the outer products of the columns of To see this consider that AA ij 1 pi pj because the ij element is the th row of which is the vector a a ni dotted with the th column of which is gutmannhelsinki Dept of Mathematics Statistics Dept of Computer Science and HIIT University of Helsinki aapohyvarinenhelsinki Abstract We present a new estimation principle for parameterized statistical models The idea is to perform nonlinear logist brPage 1br Highly Commended Highly Commended brPage 2br WINNER A GRADE Highly Commended brPage 3br WINNER B GRADE Example.
